Popular Post GusGustin Posted January 8, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 Finished this a few days ago .. was cutting with a pegas 2/0 MGT - but - it took 5 or 6 broken blades on this 3/4+" Walnut Burl before I thought "HEY DUMMIE! Use a bigger blade, there are NO little itty bitty cuts." Only broke one blade after that. I love that #1 FD. The stand is shaped like a GUITAR PICK. In Maple. Maple and walnut just look so darned good together. I used Danish Oil (natural) on the thing - then - Spar Urethane - 3 coats seperated with a bit of sanding to get that glossy glass like finish on the base. Clock from KMMKrafts .. of course. Next project ? I think Lab Head shot .. on a heart shapped back ground .. hmmmm . . need to find a good pattern of a Labs Head .. jollyred, amazingkevin, Dan and 10 others 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Lotts Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 Nice finish. I just noticed that the clock insert is not exposed in the back.. Interesting ...so to adjust the time the piece just comes out I guess? Pretty cool design overall. GusGustin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a fan of the Olson PGT blades for thick hardwood like this one. I'm sure others will work also. GusGustin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
